There are plenty of things to like about The Plight's debut release. Whether it be the darkly themed artwork, the knowingly sarcastic lyrics or the old skool riffage, there is something here for everyone to get into.
Operator Please: Just A Song About Ping Pong
This track, if I remember aright, grabbed a certain amount of airplay a few months back. Someone, however, seems to think that it warrants another bite at deserved chart glory.
In such a short period of time, Just Jack has been thrown into the public eye with such speed I don't even think the original cheeky chappy knows what to expect on a February night in Leeds.
Burning Brides: Fall of the Plastic Empire
Focus on the first four tracks of this album and you have a belting EP, packed with chunky riffs, older than time themselves and meatier than the best kebab you can imagine.
Mazeppa: Kick It for the Low Times
It's easy to believe that Mazeppa smell of soap, so clean is their music. Jazz, Blues, Broadway Musical and pub rock roots combine to cut a straighter than straight middle of the road path for this Bolton outfit.
Band Profile: Captain Backfire
Captain Backfire are a funky blues-rock six-piece from Leeds, England. Having formed in early 2007, Backfire have been gigging, recording and writing ever since.
Various Artists: I Can Count - Volume 2
Following the success of the 'I Can Count Volume 1' compilation (which gathered fans such as BBC Radio 1's Rob Da Bank and Huw Stephens) this independent label has treated followers to the aptly titled 2nd instalment: I Can Count Volume 2.
The main room of the Cockpit is heaving tonight so I have no chance of getting in to see Carus Thompson, usually of Carus and the True Believers.
Send More Paramedics @ Cockpit
That tonight's event is rammed to capacity and is being held in the larger of the venue's two rooms, only demonstrates how well respected Send More Paramedics are around these parts.
One Night Only: Started A Fire
Brian May reforming the original line up of Queen. Britney Spears performing on stage like her ball of a life isn't rolling down into the gutter.
One of the many good things about tonight's gig was that the bands had got together to do a CD with a track from each band on it, free to the first 50 in the door.
As Minus are about to finish their set at 7:40 I stroll into the venue... shit. Ikara Colt take to the stage in the form of a British Von Bondies with ladies at either side of lead singer Paul Resende.
A smiling six piece band with trumpet, trombone, drums, percussion, bass, guitar and vocals, all played with serious pro skills can hardly go wrong in the festival sunshine.
Despite all the bad press, Gay Dad still have the songs you can spin your gran round to. So, it was somewhat surprising to see the size of the crowd that had made the uphill trip to the Carling stage from the main arena.
rock pop
"You've got to see Voodoo Glow Skulls. They, like, invented ska-punk man. Mad as fuck", mumbles the ever-reliable drunk, fired in the general direction of where I'm standing.
Firstly an apology. I'm going to get a bit nostalgic in this review. Please bear with me. Back in the crazy days of the Leeds Music Scene (circa 2001) I saw a band play several awesome gigs at The Well.
As those of you out there who are musical types will know, the wonderful world of MySpace allows you the excellent facility to advertise your wares via the listing of "upcoming gigs", marvellous!
Yippeeeee! More glucose-endorsing music to feed my current, and rather perturbing, Green Day/Simple Plan fascination.
Unlike the stoners who often use them, The Blueskins barely give you time to breathe, let alone skin up.
After several hours trying to pronounce their name, with variations on 'Pelliump' and 'Effelump' (okay, so we didn't even know what they were called, nevermind how to SAY it), we stand gazing intently at the duo known as Pellumair whilst they drift off into trances.
Out of all three bands playing at the Futuresound gig tonight it's obvious as the crowd disperses onto the dance floor which band most people have come to see.
Things look very bright for the music scene in Leeds at the moment, and tonight is a great testament to that.
Panic! At The Disco are without a doubt a breath of fresh air and a much needed kick up the arse to that old 'emo' thing the kids are still frothing over.
The Ebb are about to reach make or break time. Ball-busting, tribally triumphant drums soundtrack the band's rock and Borrell swagger onstage, the supremely confident singer causally sauntering across the pit before thrashing himself into a Columbia sized riff.
Luke Haines: Off My Rocker At The Art School Bop
It is 1993. Seattle is the centre of the musical universe and the Labour Party (RIP) has lost its fourth general election on the bounce.
Victoria Holdsworth catches up with Hull band The Bonnitts before they go on stage at Beach 2006 in Scarborough
For all of those about to read, if you know either of these bands then you will most certainly know what will be coming up in this review.
The queue out here is massive. Why this show is going on in the smaller room of the Cockpit tonight is anyone's guess, but by the looks of things outside, they didn't quite think this through.
Now this was a weird experience for me. My knowledge of Ska/Punk essentially stops at dub and gets about as animated as a stoned lemur, but I had heard the MR SHIRAZ CD, "Off The Tongue", so at least knew I wouldn't be sitting down much through the evening.
The Nervous Shakedown @ Woodhouse Liberal Club
"You're walking around with that shit in your hair; you're walking around like you just don't care..." TNS The Woodhouse North-West Ward Liberal Club is as big as its name.
Hidden behind a Wakefield office block lies the Snooty Fox. After a chance meeting with Xi, we get directions to the venue, which is to be part of Xi's whirlwind tour of the Mainland's shores.
Tonight was a much-anticipated event. Visa had been away from the live scene for around 7 months, taking time to build a themselves a studio and record some fine tunes indeed.
There's was no support listed for tonight's gig, so it's a surprise when a lone figure wanders onto the stage and picks up an acoustic guitar.
Jeremy Smoking Jacket @ Packhorse
Two Bristol artists and Leeds' 7 Hertz made their way over to the tiny packed out room above the bar at the Packhorse for a night of fantastic experimental music.
Various Artists: Full Charge: High Voltage Sounds Compilation
What with all the exciting musical happenings occurring in our own backyard at the moment, we folk of West Yorkshire could be accused of having become ever so slightly introspective when it comes to seeking out our sonic thrills these days.
In all the years of being a fan this was the first time I saw Marc 'live'. I had seen former associates of his from Vicious Pink some time back.
The Sunshine Underground @ LMUSU
Fans were gathering and touts were waiting even before the doors opened at 7 tonight. For this was to be the triumphant homecoming and tour finale of local (kinda) hero's The Sunshine Underground.
This review is really rather late, for which I apologise profusely. If I may, I shall explain how I came to be so rubbish at time-keeping, life-maintenance and being able to do stuff in general.
Interview: Goldie Lookin' Chain
Holden DeForge is invited aboard the Goldie Lookin' Chain tour bus to talk to Two Hats and Roscoe P about their current tour, leisurewear and mums with cocks...
